  1. A full recreation of FIA GT 2003-2004 is being made so its not an issue. you know ferrari 550, 575, muriicalaghgogo(nailed it), lister storm, dodge viper, saleen and if we push them the older 993 will come as well. Lower class is likely coming as well.
  2. in recent wtf news I thought id try project cars 1 with a dualshock 4 controller. Thougth id see how much slower I was with a controller versus a wheel. I slashed 0.4seconds out of my time at imola with the ruf gt3........... wtf on the other note why did everyone get all pissy about the controller controls, seems fine to me granted I had assists on
  3. forza 7s final list was a load of shit all we got was new indy skins and formula e. so SO out of touch T10
  4. Dont be silly, dont pre order from steam at least. GMG consistently keep their pre order sales up for a few days after a game is launched and include pre order bollocks since the bonus is tied to the key not the time. GMG generally goes for a 10% off sale on games before launch, they have been very consistent with that rule so I dont expect it to change thats before you include any time based codes or something. Members get further discounts as well so keep that in mind those extra £1s do add up. Inconsistent is the best way to describe it. Goes back to the quote SMS always say, they have this thermodynamic warhead tech for their tyres. Thats lovely but I dont care about the potential off your tyre model, I had the potential to get an A in an exam and I got an E, they could have the potential make the best physics ever but if you input silly numbers its not realistic. I'd say thats sort of what I feel, some cars did great in the intergration but with the models where there isnt a lot of documentation they didnt bs their way into getting the physics to work well. There is a difference you cant always replicate, take the huayra from pcars1 and AC for example, AC got the aero profile code from pagani and threw it in the code the result was the aero looked the most natural ive seen it look in any racing game, pcars1 didnt get that, ive seen the code since it when open source and its not that complex but manually trying to replicate with 4 or so states just isnt gonna look as nice. Its the same with physics, theres areas where its wonderful and I muscle memory my way for breaking points and throttle control and the general feel of grip but I think pcars2 suffers from the same fate as rfactor 2, its too complex for its own good. Each parameter is a guess if you dont have info on it. Take tyres for example, in assetto corsa on a bad day I could use calculated guessing for say 50 parameters to get things to work, rf2 its way over 100, the way pcars2 has shown tyres its the same. Take tyre deformation for example. There is a 100% chance there is zero data on tyre flex before late 90s. How do I know that, well the technology just didnt exist to the point where the accuracy can be trusted, it wasnt focused on and we cant test a 50 year old pirelli for example, do you think the tyre has maintained its full performance over the years, my shitty pirellis tyres gave me(they poped my dunlops during a routine service fuck knows how) are cracking after 6 months. Anyways the further you go back the harder it gets to model tyres and some sims react better to bsing your way into getting it to work. Pcars2 from my experience isnt doing so well in that sector. Their tyre partnerships have worked wonders I need more time on it to get a more accurate opinion and reading back I think ive actually used more metaphors then made points lol. ive driven about half a dozen cars for four hours so ill not lock in my opinions just yet its not a large enough sample size long story short at its best in optimal environments the best cars(gte) felt similar to assetto corsa closer to modern raceroom gt3 cars, im not sure what to compare the radical againest though I dont think the tyres where the issue for that and the kart is a complete mess its not right at all. Im not gonna comment on the gt1s just yet I feel as if they just arent finished. Ill be going back on Tuesday and ill pretty much have the entire day to play it unless i get bored
  5. So ive gone back to brighton to do some exams but while here I came to check on our formula sae garage(had to check some tools my friends thought they left there) well while there I took the liberty to update all the sims and try pcars2 again. Bit odd that whoever vouched into this beta isnt at the uni anymore. not gonna talk about rain or weather or anything, i did my driving in the day with no bad weather. And man am I surprised, im truely shocked about how badly they fucked the ts020 up It stood out, now I got to try the ford gt gte, 488 gte and some gt3 cars and the radical and they were coming along very well, ffb does need tweaking for my tastes but this was the first time I could get a good few hours into the game, I played for around 4 hours. Unfortunately I cant really talk to much(NDAs with TMG) about whats wrong with the car but with the serious amount of data I have there are just things which dont add up. Ill give them the benefit of the doubt but the characteristics dont replicate the pros and issues of the real car and diving into the setups I can spot a few things which are outside the constraints of the real car. Its not a deal breaker for me as the cars that im gonna use in the campaign seem more or less ok. I still have a lot of work to do so ill try to limit how much i talk about this but my general feeling is that the gt3 and gte cars are feeling the best, the lower end prototypes like the radical seem a bit inconsistent with how far you can go and im not so sure the aero grip is acting right in high speed corners and the gt1 class needs work and karts. All in all its an improvement, i did encounter some bugs, wipers inside the glass, rain droplets on the side window of the 488 gte and my rear bumper suddenly getting damaged at the start of a race at le mans and there was also a spike there. honestly hasnt changed whatever opinion I had of it, maybe I should have tried the weather and those kinds of things more as it stands I dont think its the godtier replace all sims thing people are trying to make it out to be, it looks wonderful and plays great however in its current state its inconsistency is a little bit worrying. It does seriously need work but clearing away that dirt I can see what they were going for. At its best with the 488gte it felt like I was playing assetto corsa and thats before you consider the features it has to add on past just the car element which I focused on today. My biggest disappointment is the sounds however, too many shared sound assets is seriously offputting especally the turbos and unfortunately thats one of the things which is most likely not gonna change. Dont take my words as the ultimate hand of god, I compare this to my bias, my bias is my experience with AC and my knowledge of cars which isnt perfect. I do like it and i might sound harsh in a few areas but you guys want a good idea of what its like and its not all good however the silver lining is thick as hell. I do look forward to see if they fix these issues because if they can make all the cars as nice as those modern GTs then ill be one hell of a happy man. Either way dont be stupid, cancel your pre order, pre orders are stupid. I dont care if the devs promise you jesus and 72 virgins dont pre order.
  6. as someone with triple screens I can say its fun for a while then you realise its just not that good. basically gets replaced by car related hentai on the left, the game in the middle and telemetry on the right.
  7. Regarding the ferraris in pcars could have sworn I saw the 512BB in one of the trailers before.
  8. Guess it just doesnt work with my driving style, I struggle with it. Sorta just better with the Zonda R on every track.
  9. trust me you dont want it, pretty much early spec gt3 aero but with 750+bhp, it just oversteers everywhere but slightly so its not enough to be enjoyable. Fun for a bit but if you want to race after that the aero has to be so aggressive that after you go againest its main rival the zonda r you are shit out of luck you have less downforce on the corners and are slower on the straights. Bit unfortunate, even struggles on the default setups for AC which are notorious for being very safe.
  10. Cheers, always trying to improve in my skin creations and judging by the pcars engine when i do get it they will look amazing in them, a lot of the quality was lost in pcars1 due to how shiny the cars are but the liveries look amazing in pcars2 and arent compressed to hell like in the first game.
  11. Welp its decided, due to that im getting forza 7 first . There were mods to fix this utter shit skin limitation but the issue to the randoms on racedepartment for example will not know this and the total created amount of skins will be reduced as a result which is really annoying further it means their folder structur for stuff like that will not be decent. since skinning makes up for a lot of the enjoyment i get out of racing games now(weird i know) i think ill wait for the winter sale to get pcars 2 now. silly reason I know but their system for skinners was complete wank in the first for the creators
  12. lol my avatar has been the same for like 2 months now, your activex probs shit the bed
  13. Ironically people were pissed off with the new icon thing as well. Either way doesnt effect me, migth do someday when I can afford it and there isnt a 5 car model limit
  14. They really ballsed it up in my opinion. I cant find anything they are best yet. Maybe exhausts but that sound is still very compressed and without variation in the exhaust note that you get from your pcars or racerooms its still slacking Wait I found it Best replays Yeah thats it The physics are meh, car models look nice but lighting system craps out so the fidelity cant be seen, sound has improved but no variation in it, car grouping is nice but the fictional cars breaking immersion and the fake GT3 and LMP cars break FIA rules for homogolation which annoys me more, car count is low with ac/pcars2 having larger lists, very aggresive LODs. Man its so annoying, its like watching your childhood friend mess up. If they were indie sized then sure its a great job but polyphony you messed up. The competition is destroying them. pcars2 literally(on paper at least) does everything it does and more apart from intergrated paint edits and some fia licensing stuff which is admittedly nice.
  15. kk thats nice, ill wait for it to go on that £4 service, knock it out in a day
  16. Yeah difference is it looks like you aquaplane based off intertia and or momentum whereas in forza apex at least you go in whatever direction it wants you to go in and thats the issue with forza, great on paper but poor execution of so many things. That being said im still getting forza this winter instead of pcars 2 since I can only get one and I have a £20 microsoft gift card from well im not even sure anymore.
  17. This is some fantastic footage, so far I think its the best ive seen for pcars 2
  18. Yeah and that explains how assetto corsa has the f138, sf15t, all that classic stuff and is about to have a 2017 f1 car before the year is out and iracing has that mclaren, forza has that lotus i understand it might be hard to get a 2017 f1 car as they arent sleeping with ferrari but i think its still possible to gte an earlier but same decade one, they really dont have an excuse tbh
  19. Really nice car list apart from a few areas, theres no excuse for there to still be fictional formula cars unless they arent out yet such as the Formula X which looks like the 2018 indycar had an offspring with out ferrari f1 concept. Im not sure where they were going with that tbh. My point is they have the money, I know the F1 cars are expensive to license but they have the budget, Formula C as well is just ridiculous its way cheaper to get a formula abarth or something similar in On another note two 962c changed to one, we were told earlier by SMS that the long and short tail are gonna be featured, this doesnt show that so hopefully its just a mistake You have a choice for one Mazda, you could add a classic touring car, you could add a group c car, group 5, imsa gto but no you add the fucking radbull WHYYYY Still under 5 bad apples in a roster this large is fantastic.
